PHP - Session Variables Do Not Get Returned Into Previous Page's Form.
This is a multi page registration form. I want to check the user input from form1.php with preg_match in form2.php then return the users details back into form1 with error messages(e.g $errname) so the user doesn't need to re enter the information.
Neither the error messages or the session variables are shown in form1.php's form. I've echoed out the session variables found that the value makes it to form 2. But the variables are empty when it goes back to form 1. form1.php <html> <head> <title>Register</title> <style type="text/css"> td { vertical-align: top; } .errText { font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px;

I think I should buy a professional book, instead of my beginner one. Similar TutorialsI'm a very new PHP user (as in, I just started today) and need to make a set of navigation buttons which will take the user to "next" or "previous" pages. I assume that the $_GET function is involved, but I don't know how to do it. It needs to work like this: If the URL looks like "http://website.com/page1.php" I need the "next" button (a href image) to change it to "/page2.php", and while on page 2, for the "previous" button to take the user to "/page1.php" and so forth. How can I cause the page number to increment or decrease respective to the href image being clicked? Hi all I have a php form as follows: <form action="basket.php?action=add&id=1&qty=1" method="post" name="buy-product"> <input name="initial_1" id="initial_1" type="text" size="8" maxlength="1" /> <input name="initial_2" id="initial_2" type="text" size="8" maxlength="1" /> <input name="initial_3" id="initial_3" type="text" size="8" maxlength="1" /> <input name="send" type="submit" class="contact-form-button" id="send" value="Submit" /> Basically I need to add the three initials into a session so that they can be shown in the shopping cart next to the product. How do I add the initials to the session and how do I output them to the shopping cart? At the start of my basket.php script I have: $cart = $_SESSION['cart']; $action = $_GET['action']; $id = $_GET['id']; $qty = $_GET['qty']; $initial_1 = $_POST['initial_1']; $initial_2 = $_POST['initial_2']; $initial_3 = $_POST['initial_3']; I now need to create a table with the cart showing item, price and initials. Cheers Pete. Hi, I have a feeling that this is going to be an easy miss but I've been over is a good few times and cannot see what it could be. Essentially, when I post the form in the first set of code (I've got rid of a load of unecessary html) the SESSION variables are not loaded into the second piece of code. Any ideas? Code: [Select] <?php session_start(); require ("connect.php"); $timeout = 1800; $logout_redirect_url = "login.php"; if (isset($_SESSION['start_time'])) { $elapsed_time = time() - $_SESSION['start_time']; if ($elapsed_time >= $timeout) { session_destroy(); header("Location: $logout_redirect_url"); } } $_SESSION['start_time'] = time(); ?> <div id="leftlink"> <a href="logout.php">Logout</a> </div> <table align="center" width="600px" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td> <h2 align="center"><a href="index.php"><img src="images/logo.jpg" border="0" /></a> <br /> Emergency</h2> <hr /> </td> </tr> </table> </head> <body> <form action="post_reset.php" method="post" name"passre"> <table width="500" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1"> <tr> <td width="230"><div align="right">E-mail Address : </div></td> <td width="40"> </td> <td width="230"><div align="left"> <input name="email" readonly="readonly" value="<?php echo ($_SESSION['email']) ; ?>" /></div></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3"><div align="center"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /></div></td> </tr> </table> </form> </body> </html> Code: [Select] <?php session_start; echo ($_SESSION['start_time']); require ("connect.php"); if (isset($_POST['submit'])){ $email = $_POST['email']; $getde = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = '$email'"; $getder = mysql_query($getde, $conn); $getdere = mysql_fetch_array($getder) Thanks Gareth Hello, I'm new on this forum and i have not seen the rules to post a code, so i will try to explain my best : I have learned the basics of php during the past few days and i have a php code that is supposed to read parameters in several fields of a Mysql database and to return those parameters as variables in an array. (well that's how i understand it... please correct me if i'm wrong) So here the code and the part that doesn't seem to work properly (colored in red) : //I have changed the following values which are confidential... $DBName = "MyDatabase"; $DBHostName = "MyMysqlServer"; $DBUserName = "MyUsername"; $DBPassword = "MyPassword"; $Table = "MyTable"; //The fields which are in MyTable : // MemberID SMALLINT // MemberName VARCHAR(20) // MemberPassword VARCHAR(20) // MemberEmailAddress VARCHAR(50) // MemberDateTimeInscription VARCHAR(19) //Reading member parameters echo"<br>Reading the parameters of a member."; echo"<br>Defining the parameters of the member to read."; $CurrentName = "Ashley"; $CurrentPassword = "65hl3y"; $CurrentEmailAddress = "Ashley@HisDomain.com"; echo"<br>Trying to start a connection with the Mysql server."; mysql_connect($DBHostName,$DBUserName,$DBPassword) OR DIE(mysql_error()); echo"<br>Selecting the table."; mysql_select_db($DBName) OR DIE(mysql_error()); echo"<br>Searching for the fields corresponding to the CurrentName."; $Query = "SELECT * FROM ".$Table." WHERE MemberName = '".$CurrentName."'"; $Result = mysql_query($Query) or die(mysql_error()); echo"<br>Returning the parameters stored in the fields."; while($Row = mysql_fetch_array($Result,MYSQL_ASSOC)){ /////This is the start of the part that does not seem to work properly. $MemberId = $row["MemberId"]; $MemberName = $row["MemberName"]; $MemberPassword = $row["MemberPassword"]; $MemberEmailAddress = $row["MemberEmailAddress"]; $MemberDateTimeInscription = $row["MemberDateTimeInscription"]; echo"<br>MemberId : ".$MemberId; echo"<br>MemberName : ".$MemberName; echo"<br>MemberPassword : ".$MemberPassword; echo"<br>MemberEmailAddress : ".$MemberEmailAddress; echo"<br>MemberDateTimeInscription : ".$MemberDateTimeInscription; /////This is the end of the part that does not seem to work properly. } echo"<br>Ending the connection with the Mysql server."; mysql_close(); All of echo are here for debug, i'm a beginner with php. This is what the php page shows : Reading the parameters of a member. Defining the parameters of the member to read. Trying to start a connection with the Mysql server. Selecting the table. Searching for the fields corresponding to the CurrentName. Returning the parameters stored in the fields. MemberId : MemberName : MemberPassword : MemberEmailAddress : MemberDateTimeInscription : Ending the connection with the Mysql server. I don't understand why the variables $MemberId, $MemberName, $MemberPassword, $MemberEmailAddress, $MemberDateTimeInscription are empty. Your advices are welcome, Thanks, Hello I am only new to this site (my first post) and I am also only new to PHP. I have a site designed call http://www.mediareviewzone.com and I am trying to modify it using PHP. What I am trying to do is when a option is selected in the navigation menu then it will get a variable which will be referenced with a SQL database and then repeated regions will be populated with the table data. For example if you select horror genre in the movies menu, horror will be saved into the url and then the repeated regions will only show the horror movies. The code I have so far is shown below. The repeat region works fine, the only problem I am having is the first if else statement. gen is the variable that would contain horror for the example described above. Thanks for your help and time, as I stated I am only a new to PHP and this is probably an easy question. Code: [Select] <?php if (isset($gen)){ $subject_set = mysql_query("Select * FROM movies WHERE genre ={$_GET['gen']}", $connection);} else{ $subject_set = mysql_query("Select * FROM movies", $connection); } if (!$subject_set){ die("Database connection failed: " . mysql_error()); } while ($subject = mysql_fetch_array($subject_set)){?> <div class="par_element"> <div class="par_element2"> <h2> <a href=" <?=$subject['link']?>"><?=$subject['title']?> Review</a></h2> <?= $subject['description']?> <a href=" <?=$subject['link']?>"> read more on <?= $subject['title']?>.</a></div> <a href="<?=$subject['link']?>"> <img src=" <?=$subject['picture']?>" alt="<?=$subject['title']?>" name="<?= $subject['title']?>" width="65" height="100" border="0" id="<?= $subject['title']?>" /></a> </div> <?php } ?> Hello, I've been trying this for hours now, looking at different examples and trying to change them to work for me, but with no luck... This is what I am trying to do: I have a simple form with: - 1 input field, where I can enter a number - 1 Submit Button When I enter a number into the field and click submit, I want that number to be send to the php file that is in the ajax call, then the script will take that number and run a bunch of queries and then return a new number. I want that new number to be used to call the php script via ajax again, until no number is returned, or something else is returned like the word "done" or something like that, at which point is simply makes an alert or populated a div with a message... The point is, that depending on the number entered it could take up to an hour to complete ALL the queries, so I want the script that is called to only run a fixed amount of queries at a time and then return the number it is currently at (+1), so that it can continue with the next number when it is called again. I would like to use jquery, but could also be any other way, as long as I get this to work. I already have the php script completed that needs to be called by the ajax, it returns a single number when being called. Thank you, vb Hello all, I'm new to php and I'm running into some trouble.

Hi everyone, as the title stated, I would like to know how I could submit a form in one page(cart) and unset a session variable on other page.
Right now my form is setting a variable within the page back to 0, however I would like the form to unset the session variable from other page as well.
The issue with my code is that every time I attempt to clear out all items, my code can empty out the cart. But whenever I close and reopen the cart, the same content will show up again. So I need to unset the session variable.
Please let me know what should I do in order to solve the problem and I greatly appreciate your help.
My code is currently looking like this:
cart.php
if(!empty($_GET['aID']))
{
$aID = $_GET['aID'];
echo $aID;
if(isset($_POST['removeAll']))
{
$aID = "0";
}
$cartSQL = "SELECT * from article where aID in ($aID)";
echo "cart sql :$cartSQL";
$cartQuery = mysqli_query($dbc, $cartSQL) or die (mysqli_error($dbc));
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($cartQuery, MYSQLI_BOTH))
{
$aTitle[] = $row[ 'name' ];
}
}
<form action = "" method = "POST">
<td style = "width = 200px"><input type="submit" value="Empty cart" name="removeAll"></td>
</form>
And this is the session variable from other page where I would like it to be unset upon submitting the form.
if(!empty($cartSubmit))
$_SESSION["cartSubmit"] = $cartSubmit;
else
$cart = $_SESSION["cartSubmit"];
<a href="javascript:popup('cart.php?aID=<?php if(empty($cartSubmit)) echo "$cart"; else echo "$cartSubmit";?>')">Cart</a>
what I am trying to accomplish is for the user to select the state they wish, hit submit. At this point another form should show asking which county based on the state they picked, then hit search. At this point, I'm having an issue having the state variable being passed to the 2nd form also having the state they selected stay selected. <?php $default = "Step 1. Pick Your State"; $select = "<option name='statebox'>$default</option>"; echo "<br/><form method='POST' action=".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']." >"; echo "<select name='search'>"; echo "$select"; /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //Connect to the database include_once 'phpforms/connect.php'; $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM states"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){ $state = $row['states']; echo "<option name='statebox'>$state</option>"; }//End While /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// echo "</select>"; echo "<input align='left' type='submit' name='stateboxbutton' value='Ok'> "; echo "</form>"; echo "</td>"; echo "<td>"; if(isset($_POST['stateboxbutton'])){ $statesearch = $_POST['statebox']; $selected = $_POST['statebox']; $select = "<option name='statebox'>$selected</option>"; echo "<br/><form action='../search-results.php' method='POST'>"; echo "<select name='search'>"; echo "<option name='default'>Step 2.

Thanks Hi. I'm brand new to this forum, so sorry if I do something wrong... I'm someone who has thought myself to code in php to add dynamic objects to my basic static websites. I have had no formal education. This is not my first project however. I'm having problems with session variables working fine up to a point when I call a new file and then all my session variables are lost. I have tried everything, but cannot keep them alive when I get into this or any other new file. I display a form, get user data submitted, then display a next form and after the user submits this next form all the session variables are lost. Anyone have any idea what is killing my session variables? Thanks in advance. Hi Can some steer me in the right direction. I am having issues subtotaling 2 session variables: <td>'.$_SESSION['itemqty'][$key].'*'.$_SESSION['itemprice'][$key].'</td> Can you advise if I am doing this right? Cheers ...anyone know anything about Internet Explorer not printing values from session variables. It works on Firefox but not on Internet Explorer. The session variable value works find on the web page but click on Print preview and it dissapears and will not print. they recently reset my website so my php.ini file has been adjusted. One of my sites is no longer passing a session variable to the next page. I am sure its one of the settings being reset. here is the data from my phpinfo file.

This topic has been moved to JavaScript Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=330185.0 This topic has been moved to JavaScript Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=321154.0 I have a PHP page that offers various information from a single text file. This text file is encrypted on the server HD. Upon initial entry into the page, the user enters an encryption/decryption KEY and the encrypted file is decrypted to clear text and it is available for viewing. I have some parameters that I store in PHP session variables. I do this since various subsequent actions by the user will require these parameters. The code is written and the whole process seems to work well. Since the info in these session variables is sensitive, I need to understand WHERE they are stored. I know that it is a file on the HD, but after hours of reading the PHP Manual on sessions, I am not finding where (HD directory) that storage is. I have a typical shared hosting account for my web site. Mostly I want to discover is, are the session variables in y User/file hierarchy, or are they stored in a system area where the PHP is installed. Whew. Sorry this was so long.
Thank you, Hi Maybe a strange request and perhaps someone here knows a better way of doing what I want. I have a sign up form on my website that automatically pulls the session var 'name' and places this in the text field for "Reference". That way I know which agent signed up a customer. What I need to do now though is allow this variable to be injected through the url for click through banners. This what I've done (within the header HTML Tags): Code: [Select] if ($_GET['Reference'] == '') { $_SESSION['Name'] = $my->name; } else { $_SESSION['Name'] = $_GET['Reference']; } However, even though this is loaded on EVERY page view the variable is empty if the user clicks another page. Hi All! I've written up a script for my website. It\ is basically a virtual job quest. My queries are all correct it just isn't registering the variable for the session. It is $-SESSION[theid']. I want to be bale to use it in my table but I get an error. How do I write this in my SQL query for it to work. The page (when no errors), doesn't show my data. Here is my ocde: Code: [Select] <?php session_start(); include("config536.php"); ?> <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" /> </head> <?php if(!isset($_SESSION['username'])) { echo "<ubar><a href=login.php>Login</a> or <a href=register.php>Register</a></ubar><content><center><font size=6>Error!</font><br><br>You are not Logged In! Please <a href=login.php>Login</a> or <a href=register.php>Register</a> to Continue!</center></content><content><center><font size=6>Messages</font><br><br></center></content>"; } if(isset($_SESSION['username'])) { echo "<nav>$shownavbar</nav><ubar><img src=/images/layout/player.gif><a href=status.php>$showusername</a>.......................<img src=/images/layout/coin.gif> $scredits</ubar><content><center><font size=6>Basic Quests</font><br><br>"; $startjob = $_POST['submit']; $jobq = "SELECT * FROM jobs WHERE username='$showusername'"; $job = mysql_query($jobq); $jobnr = mysql_num_rows($job); if($jobnr == "0") { ?> <form action="<?php echo "$PHP_SELF"; ?>" method="POST"> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Start Job"></form> <?php } if(isset($startjob)) { $initemidq = "SELECT * FROM items ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1"; $initemid = mysql_query($initemidq); while($ir = mysql_fetch_array($initemid)) { $ids = $ir['itemid']; } mysql_query("INSERT INTO jobs (username, item, time, completed) VALUES ('$showusername', '$ids', 'None', 'No')"); $wegq = "SELECT * FROM items WHERE itemid='$ids'"; $weg = mysql_query($wegq); while($wg = mysql_fetch_array($weg)) { $im = $wg['image']; $nm = $wg['name']; $id = $wg['itemid']; } $_SESSION['theid'] = $id; echo "<font color=green>Success! You have started this Job!</font><br><br>Please bring me this item: <b>$nm</b><br><br><img src=/images/items/$im><br><br><br>"; echo $_SESSION['theid']; } if($jobnr == "1") { $finish = $_POST['finish']; $okgq = "SELECT * FROM items WHERE itemid='$yes'"; $ok = mysql_query($okgq); while($ya = mysql_fetch_array($ok)) { $okname = $ya['name']; $okid = $ya['itemid']; $okimage = $ya['image']; } echo "Where is my <b>$okname</b>?<br><br><img src=/images/items/$okimage><br><br><br>"; echo $_SESSION['theid']; ?> <form action="<?php echo "$PHP_SELF"; ?>" method="POST"> <input type="submit" name="finish" value="I have the Item"></form> <?php } } if(isset($finish)) { $cinq = "SELECT * FROM uitems WHERE theitemid='$_SESSION[theid]'"; $cin = mysql_query($cinq); $connr = mysql_num_rows($cin); if($connr != "0") { echo "<font color=green>Success! You have the item.</font>"; } else { echo "<font color=red>Error! You do not have my item!</font>"; } } ?> . I basically just want to know how I can set this session as a variable. Also..I have a user login on every page and I want to be able to destroy JUST THE "theid" session and NOT the username session. How would I do that too? thanks for the help in advance! |
